study on book in english

[Ste_d]

Good morning to all

this year, for the course of construction elements of the machines, the prof recommended a book in English... for precision it is the famous

r. juvinall k. marshek "fundamentals of machine component design"

the prof has enchanted the praises of this book for the part of the verifications of mechanical components that is the heart of the course. practically there was a version translated into Italian but besides being worse than the English one it was no longer reprinted. If someone found themselves studying books in English can I get some impressions? Does it really last so much longer? Fortunately, my prof of construction technology has always translated all the technical terms in English underlining the various (and subtle) differences therefore in this respect I am prepared.
I'm not even a native speaker!

Thank you in advance!

Surely you struggle to study in English, especially when you are tired. but it is not a great drama.
I'll explain. If I studied jurisprudence and had to do 500 pages a day, it could be a problem, but on texts like juvinall you can do yes and no ten pages a day, both in Italian and in English. therefore the tongue is not the highest rock.

It is necessary to pay a lot of attention only to one thing, both in English, and to those in Italian translated by English. Italian authors use so many more words as much as a concept is important, the English do not. superficially read an Italian text hardly exposes to the risk of losing some important passage, in English instead, often a sentence of two lines, that maybe one the law overthought, can be the pivotal point of the whole chapter. If you're missing, and they're asking you for the exam, you just lost two months.

this for my experience.

When I did the thesis, I had to take a nice file of articles in English.

I would say not to worry, the problem is overcome with a knowledge of the language even not very thorough.

Then it's great to learn how to distract with technical English, your prof. had a good idea.

I think it's very important to study in English. At some point you find that all the books you use are in English. If you don't get used to it, you don't take it anymore. so you're armed with patience and start right away, then you'll need a lot.
If your English is not great, it is an extra reason to begin.
If you are not sure what you understand, take another book, and seek clarification of the same concept on an Italian book.
in this way slowly affinity knowledge.
after short you will see that the terms used are very few and that you go forward shipped.
At the end you will find yourself thanking this professor! !

studied on several books in English and I tell you that only the first time and for the first 2-3 days you do a little more effort, mainly for the speech made by lightning. then you make us habit and it's like studying on any book.

Okay, I got it!
I have made your own reflection, it is not philosophical English as in literature for which you should understand. better training from now on as you said, so much I know that later something else to study in English jumps out.. .
